THE FALOUSE COUNTRY.
Coi.vax, W. T., Jan, 23, 1878.
Editor Wlllametto Farmer:
1 am receiving every fow days letters or
Inquiry about this rrl4ntry, and I present
tho follow Ing facts lor tho benefit of those
setklng Information iiiott It. It Is of a roll
ing pralrlo or hilly nature Tho first thing
that It puts a man In intud of on 'sight is th
waves of the ocean, wbi now and then ona
ehnwlng Its boad aboiu-cJio others. Though
tho country looks rough at tho first glnnco,
a great portion of these hills prodtiises the
best of grain, and the rest' Is good grazing
ground. There In a groat deal of levol bot
tom lands, a good portion o whloh Is takon
up. You would be nurprli-jiiT to see some of
tho ranches In this counte. whllo thoroare
ho many holler ones yet to bo taken tip.
Our winter, up to tho i-Vosont writing, Is
on lino as any person could woll ask. At no
tlmo this winter has tho thertuomoter been
lower than ten degrees above zero, and only
ono day has It been that low during the
present month, ntid thn month of Docombor
was lullv as nice as thn present month. Tho
grass hsM hoKUii to grow; stock of nil kinds
nro doing Hue, and wo do not oxpoot very
hstd weather during February. I Imvq kept
a wintlmr record, and shall do so durlngtho
mouth nf Fohrutrv.and I will let you know-
alt about how cold, It gots during the winter
moiiins, i nnvo iinu a iiuk wuii n man won
has lived in this country and on thnTouchot
lor the last eovonteeit years, nnd ho eyr this
Is tho llnnst winter ho has over seen except
one up to thn presBtitdato. Ono of our towns
men went out to tsko up a ranch the other
day, ntid the weal her was so pleasant that ho
nnd bis wife camped nut all night.
Wo hao a splendid market at homo this
vosr ror all of our produce, except pork and
bai'uu ntid lard, and I fear that btcon will be
too clirap to Jiutlly any exportation this sea
